Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Sunday January 7

North is a new name in the vendor index at Magic Millions this year and they are offering a top class draft of 14 yearlings in Book 1 and Kate Dallimore spoke with Maree McEwan about the new farm, which was formerly Kanangra Stud and is now owned by Mick Malone and his wife Pauline Alix.
